Linlithgow 5 Broxburn 0: Rose boss thrilled with derby display as Brox coach left 'embrassed'
It wasn't much of a contest in the first derby of this season's Lowland League Delighted Linlithgow Rose gaffer Gordon Herd insisted the clean sheet pleased him more than anything after battering Broxburn Athletic 5-0 in Saturday's derby clash. The Gallant dished out a humbling defeat to their Lowland League rivals and near neighbours at Prestonfield to take their scoring exploits to 21 goals in their last four games. Ciaran Greene, Lucas Stenhouse and Dylan Paterson all found the net in the first half to have the hosts cruising, before Alan Sneddon struck in 67 minutes and Stenhouse completed the rout with his second of the day just two minutes later. But that wasn't what delighted Herd most as they went second in the table, just a point behind leaders Clydebank. Herd said: 'I thought we were excellent. It took us a wee while to settle into the game, but I thought once we got the first goal we were completely dominant. 'To score five goals past that Broxburn team - who I think have signed really well - is excellent. 'The most pleasing aspect for me isn't the five goals we've scored, but that we've kept the ball out of the back of the net at the other end. 'I thought Greene and Greg Skinner were outstanding the way they handled big Errol [Douglas] and, when we got to the final third, we had boys like Stenhouse, Dylan Paterson, Oliver Hamilton and Calum Rae, so it was a joy to watch. 'We really put Broxburn to the sword and the boys were ruthless, we could have scored a lot more. 'We've got to be pleased, we've bounced back from an opening day defeat and rattled in 21 goals in four games. 'I'm really proud of the boys. They are playing with a smile on their face and that is what it's all about.' Despite sitting second, Herd says he is keeping his feet on the ground. He added: 'It is early doors, we aren't getting carried away. But if we keep churning out performances like that, we will be in for a good season. 'It is up to the guys in the changing room. We've demanded consistency off then and they have been outstanding in the last four games. 'We've just got to keep building on this and I think there is more to come from us.' For Broxburn coach Lewis Turner, he admitted the defeat was 'embarrassing'. He said: 'It was not a good result. We just weren't at the races and they wanted it more than us. 'They worked harder, which is unacceptable. 'I can accept players have bad games, but 95 per cent of the team had a bad game. 'At 1-0, there was five minutes to go until half-time and there's not much in the game, then we find ourselves 3-0 behind at the break. 'The boys never reacted after that and we fell apart. 'It was the exact same thing last year at Linlithgow away when it was 6-2, we just fell to pieces. 'The boys know it is not good enough and it is embarrassing for us. 'I have never been beaten like that before and never want to be beaten like that again. 'The manner of it was the big issue and there were no positives.' Broxburn will look to bounce back away to Cowdenbeath on Saturday, while Rose look to build on the result when they host Celtic B. Both are 3pm kick-offs.

Cumbernauld Colts secure Lowland safety with final day win as boss hails 'magnificent' display
Cumbernauld Colts are celebrating after securing their place in the Lowland League with a final day win over high-flyers Linlithgow Rose. John Doyle's side could have found themselves in a relegation play-off if they had lost at Broadwood, but they produced a fine showing to grab a 2-0 win, thanks to a Callum Wilson double. The win lifted them up to 14th, a point clear of nearest rivals Gretna 2008 and Berwick Rangers, while it is Gala Fairydean Rovers, two points back, who occupy the play-off spot at the end of the campaign. And Doyle said: 'It is a relief for everybody involved. 'We could have found ourselves in a play-off, so it was an excellent feeling at the final whistle, and the scenes were brilliant as well. 'We had our player of the year awards after it so it made for a far better night all round. 'A point would have done us but to go and do a wee bit extra is great because it pushes us up a few places. 'Linlithgow have beaten Caledonian Braves and EK in the last few weeks so that shows you how big a result it is. They went with a strong team and we knew we had to be on it. 'The guys were magnificent to a man. We limited them to few chances and took ours when they came along. 'I know [Rose boss] Gordon Herd well and he did us a turn earlier in the season by allowing us to take Liam Allison on loan so that massively helped us out.' Doyle was only appointed in January following the resignation of David Proctor and then Craig Malcolm earlier in the campaign. The club was bottom of the pile at that time and Doyle hopes they can come back stronger next term He said: 'I went into the job knowing there was a chance we could go down, so it was something of a longer-term thing for me. 'Staying in the division is the big thing and we'll hope to kick on next season.'
